    Go to the URL contacts.google.com. Make sure you're signed in. Expand the "Labels" tab on the left side of the page. Click "Create Label" and type in the group name, then hit "Save". To add multiple people to the group at the same time, scroll over each person's contact and click the box that appears. At the top of the page, click the icon that looks like a box with a pointy side. Select the group label so a check appears next to it, then hit "Apply". All the selected contacts will now be placed in the group. If you want to add all your contacts to one group, follow the same process, except select one box, then click the box at the top of the page, which will let you select all contacts.
